Key Review Excerpts

My 90 year old father was admitted here... they did an excellent job with rehab / physics therapy, and successfully getting his blood sugar in a healthy range.

Long-term resident's family · 2024★★★★★

During my stay there I encountered some of the kindest people, and also a few of the coldest. The CNA staff was mostly great. The physical therapy department was great. A couple of nurses were very nice and a couple very dismissive and unkind.

Rehab patient · 2023★★★☆☆

The nurses have been cold, rude and indifferent to her when she asks for any assistance or even ice water for her relative. Doctors say that people go there to receive full time care. It seems like it has been very difficult to get even the basic care!
